Stay in this beautiful Victorian mansion filled with antiques. Rooms fully furnished with comfortable, lush bedding and towels. I provide a continental breakfast every morning. The coffee starts brewing at 7:30am. If you want coffe sooner, just hit the start button, it's already prepared.All rooms are very Clean, have the original hardwood floors, original crown molding, Wainscoting, some with fireplaces, some have original converted gas lamps.Again, all the bedding and towels are provided. Just bring yourself, suitcase and toiletries. I even have those if you forget them (Toiletries).I did run my house as a full service B&B with all the amenities of a full gourmet breakfast, daily room cleaning, nightly bed turn down (yes, the chocolate on your pillow) and a daily Happy Hour with wine, cheese and crackers.It was too much work for a single person even with employees. I needed to be available 24/7 for my guests. They like to talk to the owners and get that "resident Pittsburgher knowledge" for all the non-tourist trap and secret places to go.I stopped doing that for a couple years until I rediscovered Airbnb. It gave me the flexibility and time to myself. I still provide the best service to my guests, it's just that I don't have to spend as much time with every minute detail. The guest also receives the ambiance of a B&B without the extra services and price associated with it.I find this is an advantage since I'm not just renting rooms in my home. It's a beautiful home that I originally designed for a B&B. Some of the listings on Airbnb, are just extra rooms people have in their homes, they use them to make additional revenue. That's fine. I feel I have a little more to offer since my home is designed for a B&B and I have that experience to provide the best experience for my guests.The biggest advantage is my location. Location, location, location! I'm the closest Airbnb or Hotel to Heinz Field. I'm also centrally located to all areas and events in Pittsburgh. It's a great spot!

This room is located on the 1st floor, the only bedroom on this floor, in the back of the house and facing the courtyard. It is very quiet during the day and night.A powder room is right next to this bedroom. There are some pros and cons with this room.

PROS--------Only bedroom on the first floorPowder room right next to room (no shower)In the back of the house, making it very quietPrivate since it's the only bedroomCost effective pricing, for the prime location Easy access to outsideSteps to the rear courtyardClosest room to second floor kitchenWarm and cozy in winter. Cool and cozy in summerClose to emergency exits

CONS--------No shower in the bathroom next to the room. You may use the second or third floor bathrooms. The Third floor bathroom is right above, up 2 levels Using the stairs located next to the bedroom.There are no doors with deadbolt or knob locks. There is a hook lock on the one and only door in The room that's attached to 2 swinging doors. There are 2 doorways once you enter the room. One goes up the back staircase to the kitchen (in the kitchen is another staircase that goes to One of the bathrooms the guests in this room May use to shower. The other doorway goes to the Laundry room. There are no doors on these Doorways, only curtains. The rear first floor Emergency exit is through the laundry room (good Point)The floors are not hardwood like the other bedrooms. The floors are linoleum.

Other guests don't go into this room, primarily because they don't know about it. Other than the parlor on the first floor, most guests spend their time outside my house in Pittsburgh. When they are there, it's 98% in their room, 1% in the bathroom and 1% in the kitchen getting coffee and snacks in the morning. There is no need for them to be in this area of the house. So the room is actually very private.I had used my house as a B&B for 4 years, 2 years ago. I had many people stay in this room, one because it was very affordable and two, it was private, like having the entire first floor and easy access straight up to the kitchen for snacks.I'm the only one that may need access to the laundry room through this room. However, unless you're staying in the room 24/7, it would not impact you.

Denise was a great host and provided an accurate description for her listing. She was very pleasant, and the location is perfect for a downtown visit or trip to Heinz Field. We enjoyed the ambiance of her home and this historic area of the city. We would not hesitate to book with her again.

This was our first trip to Pittsburgh and first time using Airb&b. Denise has a beautiful home and it was exactly as described. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and provided great tips about the city. I will be recommending Denise to our friends who frequent the city and we will definitely be back.

HIGHLY recommend staying at Denise's place. From the check-in to check-out, everything was organized and accounted for. She is super friendly and gave great tips on things to do/see in Pittsburgh. Really cool house to stay in and she keeps it in mint condition.

Denise, and her house, are amazing. She was waiting for us on the porch when we arrived at 10 PM to welcome us in. We asked her to give us a tour, and the house is incredible. Built in 1875 and much of the original decor is still there. She upgraded us to the best room because no one was staying there that night other than us. In the morning, coffee was ready and different fruits were out for us to enjoy. She communicated with us very well and is very sweet. The neighborhood was safe and beautiful, including the old church directly behind her house and the home of the Rooneys just a street away from hers. Will definitely be back here if we are in the area and highly recommend her to everyone!!!

I'm originally from Carnegie PA and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area when the Technology age was just starting to grow. My major was in Computer Science and I started as a 370 Assembler programmer at IBM in San Jose, CA, also well known (Still known) as the Silicon Valley .
I went into management while at IBM, and eventually left to seek other opportunities.
I worked at multiple companies, advanced through the ranks and became President /CEO of startups, small and large businesses over time. I also started my own what I called "One Stop technology shop". I mainly focused on providing technology to small business to increase productivity and lower costs into additionally growing their business.
After doing the above for 10 years,
I retired and came back to Pittsburgh and purchased a large Victorian house. Too large for myself and cat. I decided to try the Air B&B.
I look forward to meeting you and hope your stay will be enjoyable!
Sam (my cat and my new addition Kingdom, hope to see you soon! Sam is q charmer and loves everyone. Kingdom is still a baby and getting used to being around people but very sweet!
